I fixed this by stopping/starting Agile and homing the wheel. High humidity, fog, and clouds all night. I gave up at 04:45 with fog and 100% humidity (hasn't really moved all night) and the wind speeds now picking up as well. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 36 17 301 (WNW) cloudy fog 17:00 36 36 18 285 (WNW) cloudy fog 18:00 35 35 16 272 (W) cloudy fog 19:00 35 35 21 278 (W) cloudy fog 20:00 35 35 18 268 (W) cloudy fog 21:00 34 35 16 281 (W) cloudy fog 22:00 35 35 11 271 (W) cloudy fog 23:00 34 34 18 302 (WNW) cloudy fog 00:00 34 34 17 277 (W) cloudy fog 01:00 34 34 18 284 (WNW) cloudy fog 02:00 35 35 21 278 (W) cloudy fog 03:00 35 35 17 267 (W) cloudy fog 04:00 35 35 14 259 (W) cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
